Focusing on Lucian Freud’s prints, the exhibition Corpos e Rostos (lit. “Bodies and Faces”, English title: Portraits and Figures) at Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) includes etchings from two of his great periods: the late 1940s and, after a long pause, from the early 1980s onwards with a succession of works considered equivalent to his best-known paintings.
The exhibition also contains twenty-eight photographs of the artist, his studio, and his models by David Dawson, Lucian Freud’s assistant of over twenty years.
